Once the media receiver restarts you will be returned to the main home screen. If there are no error messages, your network settings are properly configured.

wired with static address

If a DHCP server is not available, you must assign the media receiver a static address that is valid for your network. The address must be very similar to the address used by your PC, and it cannot be in use by another network PC or device.

It is best to determine the addresses of all your PCs before assigning one to your media receiver. Use the method described in “network address: static or dynamic?” on page 36 to find the static addresses in use, and then pick an available address.

For example, you have three PCs on your network:

PC1: 192.168.0.2

PC2: 192.168.0.17

PC3: 192.168.0.11

All with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. For the media receiver, pick an unused address like 192.168.0.20 and use the same netmask of 255.255.255.0. Write the addresses down for future reference.

To configure the receiver for the static address:

1.Press options

2.Select Network Setup

3.Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet)

4.Select Address

5.Set Configuration to static

6.Set the IP Address to 192.168.0.20

7.Set the Netmask to 255.255.255.0

8.Press left arrow to return to receiver options

9.Select Apply Changes to apply the network changes

The media receiver will restart and if the media server software is running, you should see your photos and music content.
